Apple invited reporters to a special event next week, prompting speculation the consumer electronics giant may update its lineup of iPod digital music players and possibly unveil a new Apple TV product.
On Wednesday, Apple sent reporters an email featuring an acoustic guitar with an apple-shaped sound hole, inviting them to an event in San Francisco Sept. 1. The Cupertino, Calif.-based company has traditionally held a September event to update its iPod products and iTunes media store.
The event comes as Apple discusses deals with major television companies that would allow it to rent episodes of television shows for as little as 99 cents. Apple currently makes a media hub, called Apple TV, that lets users watch TV shows and movies on their television sets. On Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal reported Apple is working on a new device that will simplify streaming of media to a television.
An Apple spokesman declined to comment further on the event.
